StereoType lecture with curator Ginger Duggan

Historically, typography has been designed with two axes in mind, x and y. Today, in contrast, designers are broadening their perceptions about type to accommodate the added dimensions of a digital experiential world. Recent innovations in type design take principles of animation, interactivity, and kinetic movement and combine them with traditional components of typography, resulting in pioneering explorations in motion typography. Join Ginger Duggan, co-curator of StereoType, for an evening lecture which explores the widening field of contemporary typography and the artists represented in the exhibition. This activity made possible, in part, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional funding provided by the Public Occasions Committee.

Guerrilla Girls Lecture with Curator Neysa Page-Lieberman

Neysa Page-Lieberman
Wednesday, November 18, 2015, 4:15pm

Not Ready to Make Nice, a major presentation of the Guerrilla Girls, illuminates and contextualizes the important historical and ongoing work of these highly original, provocative and influential artists who champion feminism and social change. Focusing primarily on recent work from the past decade, the exhibition features rarely shown international projects that trace the collective’s artistic and activist influence around the globe. In addition, a selection of iconic work from the 80’s and 90’s illustrates the formative development of the group’s philosophy and conceptual approach to arts activism. The exhibition is further punctuated by documentary material including ephemera from famous actions, behind-the-scenes photos and secret anecdotes that reveal the Guerrilla Girls’ process and the events that drive their incisive institutional interventions. Visitors can peruse the artists’ favorite “love letters and hate mail,” and are invited to contribute their own voices to multiple interactive installations. This multimedia, expansive exhibition illustrates that the work of the anonymous, feminist-activist Guerrilla Girls is as vital and revolutionary as ever. Not Ready to Make Nice is curated by Neysa Page-Lieberman, director and curator of the Department of Exhibitions, Performance and Student Spaces, and adjunct faculty member in Visual Arts Management at Columbia College Chicago.
A Monument in Miniature: DePauw's Abraham Lincoln

Craig Hadley
Wednesday, November 11, 2015, 11:40am

In 1934 DePauw’s thirteenth President, Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, gifted a bronze maquette for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC to the University. Created by one of the most celebrated sculptors of the early 20th century, Daniel Chester French’s bronze maquette was intended to be “an ever-present reminder of DePauw’s ties with Lincoln and the [Civil War] years.” Join Director/Curator Craig Hadley for a lecture which explores the history of this fascinating object, including efforts to conserve the statue and return it to public exhibition after more than 30 years in storage.
